LT TTC & Assisted Conception July-Aug 2010

[Dreams into Reality]

Hello Ladies!

How is everyone going?

Porsche: I am seeing Dr David Molloy, He seems really good at what he does, who are you seeing? How is the cycle, etc going? Not long now and you will be in the TWW. Sending lots of PT your way!

Saraz: I am sorry to hear of your DH's illness, FX that things work out. So glad that you have got a BFP! CONGRATULATIONS.

Tantee: FX for you and hoping it brings good things! Glad to hear you are happier with your new FS, I think having the right FS is less stressful. So sending PT's your way!

Mum-2-be: Good luck with your upcoming FET, the end of August is not that far away and I hope it all works out for you. No, 6 weeks is not that far away and it has already turned into 4 weeks.

Terry: how are you going? Hopefully things are looking up and going well for you. Hope your scan showed some good results.

Loops: How are things going with you? Sorry about your BFN. Sending PT's your way for a natural conception.

trubabe: How is it going with quitting smoking? Been able to hold out? Hope your appointment on the 12th goes well!
How are the pups and Lily going? Sorry that you lost two of the boys.

Kaybee: Did you end up going out that Saturday night? It can very hard being in those situations and it can make you feel worse than you already do, if it was me, I would still go as hard as it may be, because as much as it hurts, I know that one day it will be our dream also, we just have to take the long road around. Hope things are looking up for you. Hoping the next month flies by for you and things get started for you. We understand that sometimes you have to stay away from BB, although there is great support from others, sometimes reading the threads, can just be a little too much and you need that break.

Trueblue: Times have changed, Your nanna has a lot of strength after going through so much, it saddened me to read that story and I think we all do count our lucky stars that we have the medical treatment and equipment that we do today. If only back then they could have got better treatment.
Sorry to hear of your BFN. We will be undergoing ICSI also, it is pretty much what Loops has said, as each case is different, I don't have to go on the pill beforehand but majority of people do. (Which I just read you don't need to either). Wish you the best of luck in the cycle.
Hopefully your dream comes true xox

melttc: Hope you had a great time overseas. Wishing you all the best on your road TTC! You will work out when it is best for you to begin with another IVF cycle.

Aurian: How did your egg collection go? Was it better than expected?

Trishy: Are things going with the pill popping, etc? Sending lots of luck your way!

Amy: It is all coming along for you! Sending lots PTs your way!

Sarah: Good luck with your cycle. Hope we see some good things coming your way

Wanta: I am so SORRY to hear of your BFN.

Coll: Glad you got a BFP! That is great news! Congratulations!

Sorry if I have missed anyone! Hopefully we see a lot more BFP in here.

AFM: I just realised that today is the 1st of August, which means in 27 days I will start on Synarel! EXCITMENT and NERVES are kicking in. I know there may be a chance that it doesn't happen on the first cycle but I am remaining positive and hopeful!
Well I started my new job 5 weeks ago and I have had to resign already as the FS and GP recommended it would be for the best as I work for a Toyota Dealership in the service department and would have to continuously go into the workshop and the fumes, etc have been getting to me and making me sick. I have been sick for the past 3-4 weeks. I was also told working around fumes, etc is not good for you when you are trying to conceive and when you are pregnant.
I have another job to go to, which fell into place nicely and was perfect timing. The manager actually approached DH 3 times and asked what I am up to at the moment as he has a position and thought with my personality, I would be perfect for the job.
So I am looking forward to working there (with NO fumes etc). The manager has already approved my leave for September when I travel to Brissy .

Well hope you are all well!

[trishy]

Dream into reality. Thats great timing the other job turning up like that. All the best. Have you already started?

Collie Congratulations thats great news

Loops good luck this month, sending you heaps of baby dust

truebabe is the natural service based on Francesca someone?

ATM just cruzing along

Thanks for the well wishes love. You must be getting excited about started. The Synarel actually isnt as bad as I thought it would be, taking it is fine but the after taste about 10 mins later is not so flash.

I was speaking to my sister last night and she asked what it tasted like/felt like when I took it, and I couldnt think of anything, but then this morning the penny dropped. It like being in a swimming pool and putting your had under the water to quick and getting water up your nose....that horrible burning feeling. I just keep thinking it will all be worth it in the end!!!!

Thats fab about the new job, my DH is a diesel mechanic and suprise suprise our TTC problems are with him. There is a proven study to do with Mechanics and infertility

AFM - Sorry to be a bit of a blonde, ive read a bit about OHSS, ive just jeard from a lot of girls that you need to drink lots of water and eat lots of protein. My FS did say she was a little worried about it with me once I start taking the Peugeon because of my age, they have only put me on a very low dose of 100MG per day.

AF is late She was due yesterday so im hoping she hurries up. I need to have a blood test done on day 6 and on Sunday I have a massive conference in the city. If I get it on Tuesday then my blood test will be due on Sunday and my FS is a 1 hour drive from my house going to be a mad rush!

Hope everyone is having a relaxing Sunday. Will be back later to do some better persies.

Tantee ~ thanks hun. Completely understand about wanting to see those magic two lines. I hope the 2nd line keeps getting darker. tight!

Porche ~ Wow 15 tests, how do you afford them all LOL. Do you buy them online? Hoping everything is still going well for you, GL!

Trishy ~ GL with the jabbing. Thanks for the babydust hun and sending the same to you.

Trubabe ~ Glad AF turned up on time, me too. Its a good feeling.

D.I.R. ~ Thanks for asking hun, im doin ok. Thanks heaps for your support and wishes xo. Well done on the new job! Sounds PERFECT. Yes Ive heard fumes are definitely no good for fertility. My DH is a dairy farmer and the dairy chemicals are not good either. Could be a reason he has low sprem count as he's been doing it since he was 15.

Amy ~ Hoping the timing all works out and you dont have to rush. FX all goes well hun.

Trueblue ~ Hope you guys are doing ok hun, GL with the lead up to IVF - will be great if we are doing it at similar times.

AFM ~ Well Im off to Warnambool Tuesday for a work summit so probably wont be around for a week as of today. So wishing you all the very best and sending lots of to you all and In some ways it will be good because I'll be busy and having fun but on the other hand this time last year we were in our first IVF cycle (lead up to transfer) and a year later we are still no closer to having our little miracle so it may be hard

[Kaybee]

Hi Ladies,

Just popping in again. So nice to have a BFP in here - congratulations Coll!! Hope you have a wonderful pregnancy and birth (well, maybe that's the wrong word for the birth - but hope it goes smoothly).

Trishy - your jabbing days are getting closer. Hope you're surviving the wait

Trueblue - your dream sounds beautiful. That would put me at ease I reckon, seeing her in a dream and somehow knowing it will all be ok.

Trubabe - I'm so sorry about your pups. Are you feeling ok? Staying focused on the others?

Loops - I hope you're right about staying busy to keep your mind off things. I know that it can be sooo frustrating when you look back at where you were a year (or more) ago when you thought you were almost there but now this long winding road is STILL going. It's not much longer now, and honestly, when you get there you won't care how long it took it will only matter that you got there in the end. Jeez, that sounded a bit motherly didn't it - sorry! Have fun in Warnambool

Amy - you're right (about the synarel) - it WILL all be worth it in the end. It sucks that it all has to be so uncomfortable getting pregnant. What about all those 'normal' people that get pregnant BDing!!! So unfair.

Tantee - It's so reassuring to know that the second line does exist in those damn HPTs isn't it. I completely understand you taking comfort in that. When is your official BT?

Dreams - great news about your job - what will you be doing? Your sniffing days are getting closer too - yay! I did end up going to that party a few weeks ago. I only spoke to the pregnant girls a bit and just avoided the difficult conversations. One friend asked me why I wasn't UTD yet but I just said I was having some dramas with it and couldn't talk about it or I'd get emotional. Guess I'm glad I went.

I had a big clean up today and found the IVF cycle timeline from 3 years ago when I got pg with DS. It felt really weird, don't know why. It was so nice to be reminded that this process does work though. I might have to go into hospital this week for a D&C. I had yet another BT on Friday to check if my hcg was finally below 5 and it had risen again! WTF? So, now the doc has realised that whatever tiny little bit of stuff is still there isn't coming out on its own in any hurry. Wish he'd done it a month ago so I could get this show on the road.

Anyway ladies, have a good week and to all

[coll]

[Porsche]

Hi Ladies

Loops - Yes I buy them on line. I buy a bulk in IC and then one or two packs of FR and Crystal Clear HPT's. They've been sitting there a couple of months now. I use the IC first so I don't waste my more $$$ ones. lol

[trueblue]

Kaybee yes it was very reasurring and beautiful it was such a peaceful dream and so happy. so sorry you have to have the d&c but at least you'll be ablwe to get back on the horse
Off to see fs next week so will know when and the process then. so i'll probably be mia until then i have the flu again.....
hugs everyone fx'd for you all

[kimmi]

Hi Ladies,

I'm just joining in your thread (if you all don't mind )

I had my first IVF cyle last month, but it was canceled due to a poor response, so it's IVF cycle # 2 for us starting in a week and a half or so.

Just waiting for Miss AF to show. I had my trigger shot on the failed cycle last wednesday.

[terry]

Morning ladies

Trueblue hope your beautiful dream is a sign of things to come

Loops - Totally understand how you feel about going at it for a year with still no results. I was thinking the same thing a few weeks ago. Hopefully your wait now will not be too much long. Have fun this week its probably just what you need to pick yourself up again.


Amy - glad to hear that your finding the synarel ok. The one and only time Iused it I couldn't stand the after taste. Hope you keep travelling nicely through your cycle.

Tantee - Reading your post made me smile. Its funny the things we do to prove to ourselves that something is happening when we are going through a cycle. Fingers crossed you get another double line for real this time.

Dreams - congrats on the new job. Maybe this is a sign of things changing for you and you getting other things you having been working towards like a BFP.


Kaybee - so sorry that your levels still haven't dropped hopefully they will fall quickly this week and you can avoid a hospital visit.

Porsche - seems like your travelling along nicely and not to far to go now till your pick up. Hopefully you lots of lovely eggs.

Hi to the girls that I know I have probably missed

AFM had my scan this morning and looks like my body has gone back to is normal cycle lining looks good and if I don't ovualte by Friday I'll have another scan and BT followed by a possible trigger. With the way I'm tracking think I'll be having a transfer early next week.

[Porsche]

Hi Terry

I'm having a scan tomorrow morning to hopefully lock in a EPU day. FX it's Friday.

I'm glad your body is back to normal. I hope your TF goes well.

[trubabe]

Trish-Um not sure lol.i know it has a lot to do with natural progesterone supplements compared to synthetic ones.

Loops-yeah having a normal af is good after having the spotting showing up whenever it felt like it over last few months.

Kaybee-thanks.im feeling ok.been changing stuff around the last few days so DP never knows what he will come home to lmao.been doing our room today so i could put two chest of drawers i bought on weekend in here.hoping to get a massage.yeah focusing on the other pups now and being an over protective mother hen with them lol.hugs,your dr sounds a bit slack.

[Wantaminime]

Hi all. Still lurking around. Waiting for BT tomorrow to make sure my levels have returned to normal and figure out where we go to from here.

Good luck everyone with where you are up to. will try to catch up with perssies in the next couple of days

Cheers

[Porsche]

Hi Ladies

Well we had our scan this morning and it showed about 6 follies. I'm a little disappointed because they may not all be mature at EPU and then we have to contend with fertilization rates and possibly lose some there as well. I was hoping there would be a little more there.

We are planing on EPU on Monday with another scan this Saturday to see how they are maturing. My lining is good and up to the required thickness. We've also upped my dose of puregon.

Trishy - LOL well done on the post!
